Be careful about how short you cut quotes. "give the FCC more authority" is irrelevant in a vacuum. "more authority to protect national security" is worrying, but to me comes off as performative nonsense and overstepping authority on Commissioner Rosenworcel's part. The FCC does not have authority to censor speech. And the FCC does not control surveillance by ISPs. (The NSA [1] does, and the FBI takes advantage of it [2].) What the FCC does need is the authority to restore net neutrality laws, which it can't have without reclassifying ISPs back to Title II. Admittedly, Congress would do well to pass legislation declaring ISPs utilities and giving the FCC the authority to enforce net neutrality without invoking Title II.
